WHAT IS AUDIOFLOW?
Audioow is a speaker switch which allows you to connect multiple pairs of speakers to your
stereo amplier and turn each pair on and o individually. It comes in 2, 3 & 4-way versions.
WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?
Manually operated mechanical speaker switches were popular when Hi-Fi Systems were a
tactile experience with record players, CD players and radio tuners. Now that music is
typically streamed from the Internet, mechanical speaker switches rarely get used as
pressing buttons on a physical switch is inconvenient – however, Audioow changes this.
Audioow is the only speaker switch which connects to your Wi-Fi Network and allows you to
operate the switch remotely via the iOS / Android App, Amazon Alexa and Control Systems.
Where manually operated switches are a generally poor user experience, Audioow is much
more convenient as you can operate the switch with the same device you are using to play and
control music.
COST EFFICIENT
AV Installations are often considered
a luxury. With Audioow you can put
projects together at a lower total cost
and oer high value solutions when
AV installations are budget limited.
Audioow can also be used as a
reasonable stop-gap to be replaced
with ampliers to be installed in the
future.
USE CASES
SUB-ZONES
There are some situations such as bedroom / dressing / en-suite and open
plan living spaces which are not separate zones as you would typically play the
same music throughout. It is logical that they are operated via one amp and an
Audioow switch to turn speakers on and o in dierent areas.
ADD MORE AUDIO TO PROJECTS
Audioow makes it easier to expand installations. For example, if speakers are specied in an
extension it is a low additional cost to add an Audioow switch and install speakers in the
garden too. Bedroom systems can easily be extended into bathrooms as well.
CONTROL SYSTEM INTEGRATION
An open plan Kitchen / Lounge in Control4 would have two audio endpoints, and this would
force you to create two rooms in the system which the client would then have to manage by
grouping. The advantage of using Audioow in this situation is that you can simply create one
room in Control4 and have buttons on a keypad or in the navigator to turn speakers on and o
which is much easier for the client to use. You can even program to turn speakers on and o via
PIR sensors when you have a control system.
